Park Authority Trails Information

[Map of Park Trails]

Fairfax
County offers over 900 miles of trails, bikeways and sidewalks for
non-motorized transportation that have been mapped using a Geographic
Information Systems database. Fairfax Trail Buddy is a web-based
mapping tool that allows you to discover the extensive network of
Fairfax County Park trails. Fairfax Trail Buddy also provides
access to the Bike Fairfax
Interactive Bike Map, which highlights the most desirable
on-road and off-road bike routes for recreational and commuter
bicyclists. The web map is accessible from all types of devices and
operating systems.

The creation of this comprehensive mapping tool was the result of
collaboration of Fairfax County Park Authority, Fairfax County
Department of Transportation and Department of Information Technology
Geographic Information Systems and Mapping Branch with data provided by
Fairfax County Department of Public Works and Environmental Services,
City of Fairfax, Town of Herndon, Town of Vienna, Northern Virginia
Regional Park Authority, The Bureau of Land Management, National Park
Service, Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Virginia
State Parks, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, , Reston Association and
George Mason University. This application will evolve and improve over
time with feedback from users.
